Abstract (en)
[origin: US2016166952A1] Embodiments of the invention provide a coalescing filter assembly including a filter element with longitudinally coupled filter lobes. The filter element can include a fluid inlet, filtration media, and fluid outlets. In some embodiments, the filter element can include a hydrophobic surface, a super-hydrophobic surface, or a super-oleophobic surface. Some embodiments include a coalescing filter assembly system that includes a filter housing defining a lower sump and an upper sump, a vessel inlet and outlet, and a tube sheet with a plurality of openings positioned between the upper and lower sumps. In some embodiments, one or more coalescing filter assemblies can be coupled to risers and to the plurality of openings. In some embodiments, fluid can be filtered by the system by passing fluid from the vessel inlet, through at least one fluid inlet, filtration media, and through a plurality of fluid outlets of at least one filter element.
